Post Doctorate RA - Atmospheric Convection Modeling

Posted date: 2017-Nov-24

Location: USA

us: Post Doctorate RA - Atmospheric Convection Modeling [100% | Duties: PNNL is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist to work on a project aimed at understanding microphysical processes in atmospheric convection and interactions of convection with aerosols. The overall objective of project is to understand atmospheric convection at multiple scales including formation of boundary layer rolls and shallow precipitating clouds, transition of isolated shallow to deep convection and formation of stratiform rain and the dynamics of a large population of convective clouds. The two way interactions of all of these processes with aerosols and land surface are also of interest | Minimum Requirements: A Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics or related subjects is required. Demonstrated expertise in microphysical processes and aerosol convection interactions. Demonstrated familiarity with numerical models and analysis of cloud permitting and LES simulations as well as observations. Demonstrated record of publications in peer reviewed journals | Preferred Requirements: Familiarity with high performance computing, and statistical analysis. Experience with large datasets and efficient computation, including parallel processing. Experience with computer languages usually used for climate modeling and analysis (Fortran, Python, R, NCL, Matlab, IDL, etc.). Familiarity with Linux/Unix computational environments] / Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL); Richland, Washington, United States / deadline December 22
